96 ANALOG OSCILLATORS
UNDER YOUR CONTROL
6 VOICES, 16 ANALOG OSCILLATORS PER VOICE, ANALOG MULTIMODE FILTER WITH 5 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, 4 ENVELOPES, 4 LFOS, MOD MATRIX WITH 32 SLOTS, ARPEGGIATOR, FX AND THAT’S JUST THE START!
Redshift 6 is a true sonic powerhouse. With 16 analog oscillators per voice and a 4-pole analog multimode filter featuring drive and character controls, it effortlessly delivers everything from super saw stabs to lush pads and from unison basses to vintage poly synth sounds. The Redshift 6’s 4 envelopes and 4 LFOs, combined with complex yet easy-to-assign modulation possibilities and the 32-slot mod matrix, offer endless possibilities for sound design.
Each of the Redshift 6’s six voices features a Demon Core Oscillator, capable of generating up to 16 simultaneous analog oscillators per voice. These oscillators can be assigned in various ways, from lush polyphonic textures to a massive 96-oscillator unison.
To take full advantage of the 96 oscillators almost endless sonic possibilities, the Demon Core Oscillator has various Engines, giving users a range of powerful options to choose from. Whether it’s traditional twin oscillators, supersaw engines, flanging phase sync, or transistor organ modes, each Engine is designed to be intuitive, highly controllable, and fully modulatable.
The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter that is digitally controlled to act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more. In addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 has all the features expected of a modern synth – plenty of modulators, flexible voice routing, multitimbrality, MPE, and DSP effects.

DEMON CORE OSCILLATOR
Demon Core Oscillator is a MDCO (Multiperiod Digitally Controlled Oscillator) which allows a single analog oscillator core to form multiple simultaneous waves with pitch and phase control.
Even though the analog oscillator cores are digitally controlled, the Demon Core Oscillators sonic possibilities go way beyond traditional DCO’s. In practice this means that all the 16 analog oscillators in each 6 voices can be individually controlled. With the 16 oscillators per voice, each of the six voices can also operate as a paraphonic voice with up to 5 note paraphony. Each paraphonic note can also have its own amplitude envelope, enabled by the Redshift 6’s DCO ENV.

CHARACTER & DrIVE
With different character profiles, each voice’s analog signal path regarding tuning, gain staging, filter, amp, and envelope behavior can be changed from almost digitally sterile and clean to distorted misbehavior and beyond.
The sound character of legendary synths is what they are revered and desired for. This character is made up of various distortion characteristics, the precise shape of the filter response curve, the envelope shape, tuning accuracy and variations in all of these between voices. In designing our own analog circuits and their control algorithms, we had to decide which character would we aim towards… and decided to not decide! Using our ultra-flexible filter design from the Neutron Flux Filter, variable gain staging, the fine-tuning capabilities of the DCO, and digital control of all these, we’re able to approximate many very different characters. We’ve packaged five of them to the Character control of the Redshift, and as an extra treat, we let you interpolate between them to find your own perfect sweet spot!

FX
PRODUCTION QUALITY FX WITH ANALOG SOUL
Redshift 6’s FX Engines deliver production-level, 24-bit stereo effects. Its parallel signal path allows you to blend analog audio with DSP effects, giving you the warmth and character of analog signal path alongside the precision and flexibility of modern digital processing. The different engines of the FX section add spaciousness, movement, and depth to the sound without compromising its analog soul.

Stage reverb ENGINE
Stage Reverb expands effortlessly from tight rooms to vast open spaces, giving your sound anything from subtle presence to long, cinematic tails. Sculpt the sound with different parameters, and layer it with Vintage Chorus for even more character.
X-DELAY ENGINE
X-Delay is a stereo delay designed to create dynamic sequences of repeats that add rhythm, depth, and motion to your sound. Each echo is processed in order, letting you build anything from precise, tempo-synced patterns to free-running, atmospheric textures. Run it freely or sync to internal or external MIDI clock for perfectly timed delays every time. Versatile, musical, and built for creative echo design.
VINTAGE CHORUS ENGINE
Add depth, width, and smooth analog motion to your sound. Vintage Chorus offers three modes, I, II and I+II, giving brass, pads, and strings instant warmth and dimension. Subtle, musical, always classy.
CHORUS+ ENGINE
Chorus+ is a stereo modulation effect that thickens and widens your sound by blending the original signal with a delayed, pitch-modulated version. While it can add gentle doubling or classic chorus depth, adjusting its parameters can push it into extreme effects.
REDEFINING MULTITIMBRALITY
6-PART MULTITIMBRALITY, DYNAMIC VOICE ALLOCATION, AND UP TO 5 NOTES oF PARAPHONY PER VOICE
Multitimbrality allows Redshift 6 to function as multiple independent synthesizers. Each part can be polyphonic, paraphonic, or monophonic, and each can have its own unique character.
With Redshift 6, multitimbrality is always at your fingertips. Its user interface is built from the ground up to enable a seamless workflow between mono- and multitimbral setups. Under the hood, Redshift 6 is always multitimbral—there’s no need to switch to a specific multitimbral mode. A new multitimbral synth part can be activated with just the push of a button. Voice allocation, polyphony, paraphony, group settings, and other parameters are easily configured in the Parts view.
MUCH MORE THAN A SPLIT 6-VOICE POLY
Multitimbrality truly unleashes the full power of Redshift 6’s 96 oscillators.
With each of the Redshift 6’s six voices capable of generating up to 16 oscillators, the Redshift 6 offers an impressive expansion in overall polyphony. A single voice supports up to five paraphonic notes simultaneously, each featuring dual oscillators and a noise source. These notes can have independent amplitude shaping, thanks to the Redshift 6’s dedicated DCO ENV envelope generators.
Redshift 6 also features dynamic voice allocation, allowing voices to be borrowed from other parts when needed. When combined with paraphony, Reshift 6 pushes polyphony well beyond what traditional multitimbral synths can offer.
Thanks to the flexible voice allocation, the voices to be assigned in various ways: split across keyboard zones for traditional polyphonic setups, layered to play rich, combined textures, or used as six independent one voice parts.
Redshift 6’s six audio outputs provide flexible routing options, allowing individual parts to be assigned to separate outputs.

FUNCTIONAL AND UNIQUE DESIGN
The Redshift 6 features a modern, compact desktop design with a 2.7-inch color screen, minimizing menu diving with intuitive navigation via a shortcut button grid. The front panel includes a selection of essential synth controls, along with a macro mode offering six user-assignable controls. On the back, you’ll find main audio outputs, a DSP effects processor, and four auxiliary voice outputs for expanded routing options.
A core design principle of the Redshift 6 is to provide a versatile, powerful analog platform paired with a flexible UI, allowing for seamless integration of new Engines and features through software updates.
Redshift 6 is build to high standards from components to materials. Its aluminum casing is 3D-milled, and the graphics are printed with high precision using an innovative UV printing technique. Every visible element—from the knobs and hexagonal pads to the red transparent honeycomb side panels—is a custom design by Axel Hartmann.
